First review online with a live demo demonstrating the actual strength of the light - thank you for that!

[@mikeytrippz9453]

love the sense of humor, most tech channels lack this

[@BrockTube2010]

About 5 seconds into the video I'm thinking Gavin Hoey and Chelsea Northrop had a lovechild. Nice intro music.

[@shouldigetit]

What do you use to light yourself for these videos? Think I could get away with having two of these on stands to light myself while filming for product reviews (interview setup, similar to you in this frame)?

[@billtvmacon]

Your reviews are the best. This is true. Before I buy any electronic equipment I always check your KZbin channel to see if you've reviewed it.

[@WalidAzamiTV]

You did a great job reviewing this. I might pick up a set of this, the price isn't bad.

[@rizihsan]

Hi can you share where to find the app? What to search on google playstore? I tried yongnou but cudnt find

[@PeacePham1991]

To ask your question about why there is an orange filter for the light, it's because sometime you photograph indoor with yellow ambient light (like tungsten) and you want to match the lighting's temperature from the Ice light and the ambient light so you can get correct White Balance easier. It's kinda hard sometime to get a correct WB when there are multiple light's sources with different temperature.

[@brettturner5299]

Nice clear informative review, thank you for posting!

[@GeorgeBaily]

Yongnuo basically missed the main point by not building in a light saber whooosh sound when you turn it on and off.

[@firsttimejonny]

Dale - don't you think it would've been worth mentioning that this device is a FRACTION of the cost of a Westcott Ice Light?!

[@4401099]

Thanks for the ISO info and lens aperture.. Im looking for that info and found it in you video

[@RicardoEvangelista]

Good evening. One question: Does the 320 leds run either on 3200k or 5500k? I ask this because it gave me a very big doubt in which to buy this model YN360 or the model YN360W that is full in 5500k?

[@thegadgetdude]

this model has two banks so half of the led are 3200k and half are 5500k. If you can the brightest possible light without the options of mixing led light colour as well go for the YN360W.

[@TomeRodrigo]

I have the "5500K" version, and that's the real "ice light". I can assure you that the one in your video is very far from "ice light". I have both versions here right now, so I can compare them. The "5500K" light wand is very bright with proper white light and is powerful as hell. The one that is the same one as in your video has a strong yellow tint to its light even though I set it up at "5500K" and 100% brightness, (it is actually highly annoying). The LEDs inside are different, there are more yellow LEDs, and the light is just not as white and powerful, even though I set it at 100%. The "ice light" 5500K version that I have has 320 LED lamp beads with a temp of 5500K. The one you have in the video has only 180 LED lamp beads with a temp of 5500K and 180 LED lamp beads with a colour temperature of 3200K. The only problem is that both light wands look exactly the same on the outside. There is only a difference in one button on the back panel, and another difference is in the "hardware" and, therefore, LEDs inside.

[@AlexLopez-iy4by]

Nice demo, thank you.

[@lace11419]

thank you so much for the demo/review made my decision easier and the price point is good also

[@umbertoragone]

Great video, really helpful!

[@BEBauer007]

Got one of these bad boys for xmas. I want to mount it on a light stand sometimes do u know what the thread size is??

[@christianaaristidou8269]

Good morning and thanks for the info. Can you may be measure at full power 5600 at 2m distance 100 iso and give us the readings.

[@marciovt]

Great review! Helps a lot :)

[@MachineElf1111]

great review

[@intheaudienceband]

What is the spider tripod you have the YN360 on on the desk? I just bought the light, but I want a tripod that is similar in size but isn't going to fall right over and the one you're using there seems pretty sturdy!

[@thegadgetdude]

it's the joby gorillapod for slr's

[@HackMyControlSystem]

Love the idea of using a mini tripod stand with it.

[@joserosello8976]

The Yongnuo is better than Icelight 2?

[@edprod]

Cool

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Good one!

[@Ey3shi3ld]

AN other comment , 86 € on aliexpress , but there is also the newer (110 €) and Venturemax 55cm Portable (100 €). Advantage of yongnuo the price+ RGB color (and not only white or warm orange). But yongnuo is cheaper but it doesnt include battery or powersupply so if you don't own a sony battery (yongnuocost a little more 105-120 € )

[@ArizonaMMJ]

Anything else come out yet with closer results to the ice light?

[@MillgrovephotographyAu]

Good video mate, cheers

[@thegadgetdude]

no probs thanks for your watching

[@lebavu8260]

Anyone know if AWB would be the best setting when using color leds like this? Or doesn’t matter?

[@MuhamadWirdan]

How to read battery capacity?

[@geochafg]

3200-5500k or just 5500k? which one?

[@xrayhead]

Cheers nice video review :-)

[@Ey3shi3ld]

GOod review my only advice , would have been some video sample or photos , in other configuration . (but i would say it was okay ) . But the only thing is maybe just write your setup onto the video cuz for non "fluent english" despite i understand everytthing you said , when it comes to numbers , i prefer to have it writtent also ( despite you mentioned it )

[@thegadgetdude]

thanks for the feedback!

[@KN-hn4zs]

Hey, do you think you could drop the APK for the bluetooth app? Mine doesn't work properly and won't switch to RGB Mode.

[@SergioJuarros]

Just bought it and I have the same problem, could you solve it eventually?

[@KN-hn4zs]

No never heard from him RE APK. The one listed on the website is broken. @Gadget Tube can you respond?

[@chamberhartphotography]

Kawiti Naitoro same problem. works on iPhone and ipad...doesn't on android

[@HEREONOUTBAILEY]

How can you make a review & not include the price?

[@lucasgaitan_]

Please can you help me =) how Unlink my 2 lights to stop sharing the settings? Hold the power button for 10 second doens't work =(

[@JamieKohns]

Can the 3200k/5600k and RGB LEDs be mixed- e.g. white light with a red tint?

[@thegadgetdude]

no you can only switch between the colour led bank and the normal ones

[@bennewkirk1401]

I can't find the app for Android in the Play Store. Any help?

[@lyoncamerastraps7488]

the app its on the Yongnuo website !

[@DeMayneOne]

Where can I get those speaker stand risers

[@thegadgetdude]

i made then using ikea square shelves and ikea feet (cabinet feet)

[@futuremelvin509]

please how do you switch on the Bluetooth, and what's the app name? please anybody can still give me respond

[@ArihantJainPewds]

[@thegadgetdude]

+Arihant Jain mine camera with the orange diffuser.

[@ArihantJainPewds]

Gadget Tube any white normal diffuser ?? To soften it ?? I wanna record with my Sony handicam will this light be good ?? In terms of exposure n iso?

[@ArihantJainPewds]

Gadget Tube I should choose this whole recording with my Sony handicap or a ring light .. I'm confused plz help bruh

[@Josephgreentv]

Great video mate! *Blind 😆😆

[@thegadgetdude]

cheers man still subbed to yours keep them comin'

[@Josephgreentv]

Cheers bro! Same, I'm gonna be doing a GoT video every week and I've filmed like 4 but I'm starting to make editing time now... Excited to watch the new episode tonight, are you up to date?

[@thegadgetdude]

+Joseph Michael Green (JoeysLife) yup about to watch the second episode actually!

[@MyShowbizName]

Green was best!

[@thegadgetdude]

I'm quite envious of that choice of colour

[@zatoichiable]

where all the spaghetti cables went in your table?

[@thegadgetdude]

hidden around the back of the table and cabinets!

[@shanedude02]

8 volts 5 amps? Why so much?

[@thegadgetdude]

+Shane Napaul 8Volt and 5AMPs max input isn't that high, it's fairly normal for a wall plug power supply light

[@thegadgetdude]

+Vapor Review Blog that's good to know! did look at the yn300 and 600's but the fan on the 600's put me off. might get a pair of aputure 568w/c in the future

[@shanedude02]

+Gadget Tube 40 watts as a max is alright! I thought it was nominal! Anyway, great video as always?

[@shanedude02]

+Shane Napaul !*

[@thegadgetdude]

+Shane Napaul thanks! although I liked the accidental question mark!

[@g0at3]

Mostly a crap light :/. Good for background or product video perhaps?

[@FWPART]

no, i think you missed the point of this product. Its meant for lightpainting
